6 years ago Hi @teamNapier thank you for submitting your proposal.
We have reviewed your proposal and it is not a fit for the program. Nest doesn't focus only on research work. Research is important but right now we need teams building dev tooling and infrastructure. Also, we just funded a team that is going to be working on research about specific UX needs of distributed applications and design challenges. We are not interested on more research about these topics at the moment.
For all the above reasons, we have decided not to approve this proposal. If in the future you are working on something that is a fit for the program, please don0t hesitate to apply again. Thank you!
Aragon Nest Proposal: PHD reserach:Tooling that improves developer experience:
Abstract
Field that the eth/argon community is eager to research and explore to expand the ecosystem.. developers need to make the ecosystem more robust and user-friendly for existing and new users. AIMS aim is to answer 5 key question and submit and proposal for the developer community, so they can develop tools that the market condition requires to further the development of the ecosystem of smart contracts and argon nest and eth. 1) to identify what the ecosystem requires to make the it more widely adopted within the global economy. 2) identify the key tools required to improve developer tools, 3) what makes the current most used tools success? identify advantages and disadvantages of these tools. survey the ecosystem 4) what sector of tools and developers are using the new ecosystem tools and are they huge improvements from previous products within the marketplace. 5) does productivity and education impact the speed of new tools introduced to the marketplace? can there be more improvement on creating tools that meet the demand and future of the industry, can code be more robust and adaptable.
